Is this a hoax? - No!
Being an employer and having used freelancer.com I was happy to find iFreelance, where I can post a project without any costs. When using freelancer.com I've experienced to get several bids just few minutes after I posted the project, so when I didn't receive any bids after some hours I decided tho promote my project by buying the "featured project" packet. 24 hours later there was no sign of my project anywhere on the site except if I looked under "my stuff". At first I thougt it was a scam, however the next day I received a mail saying my project had been approved and now visible and then I received about 20 bids. So my advice to you: Be patient. It is worth while waiting for.
